Default What color should I paint my Escort?

My escorts paint is terrible and I'm just looking for some ideas on what I should paint it as.

See if you can find some pics of a Escort Mk2 Sundowner van. The one I'm think of is dark blue with the classic 80s stripes in red and yellow I'll see if I can find a pic later when I'm at a computer

I'm somewhat partial to Midnight Blue for some reason......





But then again, for a race car you could always go the historic styling of the Carr/Bond IKY000 / Bjorn Waldegard YJT444 / Ari Vartenen YJA 444:







Or the calssic Rothmans colours;



Cheers

For a track car you can't go past Yellow Blaze. You can put anything with it - red or orange or black or even blue or the whole spectrum.

I actually like just plan old white. With some grey or black mini lites.

Sno white from the XD range is nice and simple.
